Feb-May 2011 Mommies

Hi,

We found out last week that we pregnant! On Wednesday afternoon, 2 days before af due I got a BFP HPT. I thought it was an evaporation line, and after about 10 more tests thursday, went for bloods on Friday. I have been off the pill about 15 months!

My HGC levels were 293 at 4 weeks. I am 5 weeks now, i think.

I am really happy there is a group for us, came to check the other day, but did not see anything, must of looked wrong.

I have had cramps, like ovulation cramps since ov, and they still come, but I think pain moves around. Also very bad heart burn, slight quesiness. But I am worried about pains on left side? Is it normal? Only going for first appiontment on 24th.

I also have a slight whiteish discharge (sorry if TMI). Is this also normal?

I feel suddenly so clueless on these things. One would think after ttc so long I would know if these things are normal or not

I am glad to see some of the girls from the ttc thread here! Jippee!!!

A white winter is also stunning! My dream is to do Christmas in NYC!

I'm thankfull no more hungry, and am managing to do my carb free meals. I'm pretty proud of myself. I cook DH and LO seperate meals at night.

Need to start including a glass of milk to my day though. Want another nice big baby

I am going to be in Europe for the whole of December so will need to have some winter maternity clothes. I am thinking of going soon to get the sale items?? Maybe just 2 pants like 1 size bigger and a couple of longer jerseys?

Otherwise there is a high chance of us immigrating to USA in January so we'll be in Miami with all it's humidity

Cath I also wish I had been fitter before falling pregnant. And wanted to lose another 4kg. But pregnancy surprised us before I had time to do those things!!!
Really trying to watch what I eat, but I seem to get STARVING and feel so weak and lightheaded and a salad just doesnt fix that feeling....
I wont even tell you what I ate for lunch yesterday...

I'm actually really excited to be pregnant in summer, want to wear all the lovely maternity dresses! Last time I carried in winter, so was basically pants and tops.

I've also ALWAYS dreamed of being pregnant over Christmas, having the bumb, making cookies, decorating the house. Going to be so much fun!!
I'm the biggest Christmas fairy and can't wait!

Aah, thanks ladies! Lucy 10 more days I can't stand it! And we thought the 2ww was bad! LOL I'm sure it will be here in no time! Awesome Meags you got to have a scan. Ems mom well done on the exercising I WISH I had gotten into tip top shape before I fell pregnant ah well I did have 2 years to do it and didn't so apart from a really nice preggie dvd I have that's it for me. I AM going to watch what I eat though! We are all going to be preggers at the HEIGHT of summer imagine that!!! Today I felt rather queasy all day - almost 'allergic' to the thought of certain foods. Roll on 12+ weeks when that all subsides I hope!
Have a lovely evening ladies!
Any cravings? I'm just loving cheese but that's quite normal! I was AMAZED at what we saw from an abdominal - my scan was abdominal - amazing!

yip I do feel lucky. But some gynaes are so not interested in just doing a quick scan for someone!!! anyway

I dont think the sonar machine even has paper!!! It is a government hospital...so cant imagine luxuries like that! Perhaps if I had a formal sonar in the sonar department I would get a printout...but I think I would wait a while to get an appointment date.

I also dont really feel pregnant. so badly want to be showing and feeling the baby moving!!!!
EmsMom you are exercising a lot!!
I am not going to start now. I heard that if you didnt exercise before, then you shouldnt start in first trimester...so that's my excuse will start preggi bellies after 12 weeks

Cath s/he is so cute!! Looks like a full grown baby! Wow!

Meags lucky fish you!! Did you get a print out or not?

My father asked me again today if I was pregnant!! I hate not been able to tell him - so told him to stop asking and that it took him and my mom 6 months each time so why is he expecting it faster with us...

I really dont feel PG at all. I didn't really with Em either for a while. Once I get to chat to people about it maybe it will feel more real. I'm still on a serious diet, and waking up at 6am to do my exercising, and then I repeat it in the evening. I'm really hopping on staying very healthy and fit this time round.
